The strength of the Guangzhou men's basketball team is far above the Fujian men's basketball team, and the 125-107 victory over the opponent is also expected. But this game, for the marginal man Fu Lei, still has extraordinary significance. This game is Fu Lei's fourth regular season game this season, and he has played at a super high level. Playing 14 minutes, Fu Lei scored 11 points. He was also efficient, shooting 5-of-7, including 1-of-2 from three-point range. Can break through the achievements, but also can shoot three-pointers, Fu Lei showed a comprehensive offensive means. Defensively, Fu Lei is also very present, sending out 2 steals in 14 minutes of playing time.
Being able to break out is not easy to deal with Lei, he has been frustrated for a long time. Fu Lei is a native of Huludao, Liaoning, but is from the Zhejiang men's basketball youth training. In the Zhejiang men's basketball youth team, Fu Lei had a bright performance and was able to enter the Zhejiang men's basketball team. But in the CBA, Fu Lei is not ambitious. In his debut season, Fu Lei played 23 games and averaged 13 minutes per game. However, because of the mediocre performance, in the next 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons, Fu Lei's playing time did not increase but decreased, and gradually reached the point of not being able to play.
In the 2020-21 season, fu Lei did not usher in a turnaround in fate, playing only 5 games in the whole season. This season, Fu Lei has also been neglected for a long time, before this game, he only played 3 games, and he did not perform brilliantly. But in this case, Guangzhou men's basketball head coach Guo Shiqiang is still willing to give Fu Lei a chance, which also created his big shine in this game.
Willing to give marginal people a chance, this is also the characteristic of Guo Shiqiang after coaching the Guangzhou men's basketball team. Guo Shiqiang's most famous hand is to cultivate Li Yanzhe. Before Guo Shiqiang coached the Guangzhou men's basketball team, Li Yanzhe was just a dragon runner. In the 2018-19 season, Li Yanzhe entered the CBA, but did not play a single game. In the 2019-20 season, Li Yanzhe only played 23 games. Averaging only 10 minutes per game, Li Yanzhe also performed badly most of the time on the field. But Guo Shiqiang was willing to give Li Yanzhe a chance to cultivate him as a second Han Dejun. Under the careful cultivation of Guo Shiqiang, Li Yanzhe has been able to pick up the beam this season. In this game of the Fujian men's basketball team, Li Yanzhe played 25 minutes and got 17 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block.
Last season, after wandering in multiple teams, Wang Zhengbo, who still played a famous role, achieved a big explosion under Guo Shiqiang. With a three-point shot, Wang Zhengbo became one of the main musketeers on the outside of the Guangzhou men's basketball team. He can also play a role in passing, and when Wang Zhengbo comes on, he can sort out the team's attack very well. Although the role is mostly a substitute, Wang Zhengbo has made an indispensable contribution to the Guangzhou men's basketball team to playoffs.
At the same time, the main forces have also improved by leaps and bounds under the guidance of Guo Shiqiang. Last season, Zhu Mingzhen entered the CBA to play, and under the vigorous cultivation of Guo Shiqiang, he handed over the data of 9.6 points per game in his debut season and became a reliable musketeer. Can also act as a defensive gate on the defensive end, Zhu Mingzhen became a top 3D player, and also broke into the national team. This season, Zhu Mingzhen's performance has further improved, entering the discussion ranks of local first-class strikers.
Chen Yingjun also went up a big step. This season, Chen Yingjun averaged 19.4 points per game, one of the best among local players. Against the defending champion Guangdong men's basketball team, Chen Yingjun scored a high score of 43 points. Scoring ability has risen sharply, and Chen Yingjun's passing ability has also made a big leap forward. Before Guo Shiqiang took charge, Chen Yingjun averaged only 4.8 assists per game, rising to 7.4 last season and 9.4 this season. Chen Yingjun has moved from a first-class defender to a top defender, and the Guangzhou men's basketball team also has a reliable local core.
To make the players better in the quiet, Guo Shiqiang showed the strength of his own coaching outside of tactics. It is precisely because Guo Shiqiang has become the top Bole of the CBA, and the Guangzhou men's basketball team has gradually become stronger without a large number of reinforcements. Today's Guangzhou men's basketball team has locked a playoff spot, entering the playoffs for 2 consecutive seasons, and Guo Shiqiang has also created the history of the Guangzhou men's basketball team.
